Examiner David T Brooks has allowed 170 of 256 decided applications (66%) in Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security.
David T Brooks maintains a public record in Technology Center 2100 (Computer Architecture, Software, and Information Security). Across 256 disposed applications, he allowed 170 and abandoned 86, yielding an allowance rate of 66 percent. His record spans a single art unit. This allowance rate represents the proportion of decided applications and does not constitute a prediction for any specific application or indicate the outcome of any pending matter.
This profile aggregates the examiner's record across all his art units into a single pooled figure. The allowance rate of 66 percent describes his historical disposal record—allowed versus abandoned applications—and reflects past decisions only. Aggregate statistics do not predict outcomes in individual cases and do not account for variations in application complexity, claim scope, or examiner workload across different art units or time periods.
These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
Each section benchmarks this examiner against that art unit's average. Figures are this examiner's own public record within the art unit; the overall rate above pools them.
Primarily examines information retrieval and database structures.

A correlation, not proof that interviews cause allowances. Based on 150 decided applications with an interview and 106 without.
Methodology. This page pools every art unit in which Examiner David T Brooks has a public record within Technology Center 2100. Statistics are computed from publicly available USPTO records, refreshed on a recurring schedule. This page's data was last updated June 25, 2026. The overall allowance rate is total allowed divided by total decided applications (allowed plus abandoned) across all art units — not an average of the per-art-unit rates; pending applications are excluded. Figures are rounded for display. Pooled sample: 256 applications.

These statistics describe past examiner behavior and do not predict the outcome of any particular application. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Where this page compares an examiner's allowance rate to an art-unit average, that comparison is a factual description of the public record, not a characterization of any individual examiner's conduct or competence.
